A few months back I'd never uploaded something like this. Now I sit back and think why🤷‍♀️ So many of us are ashamed of who we used to be. Ashamed of what we looked like before puberty hit. Instead of feeling 'ashamed' we should feel proud for the people we are today. We should sit back and think "I did it!" We should encourage and praise one another not belittle and bring each other down. So.. with that. The me on the left? Was back in 2015 when I was a very unhappy girl with a fake smile. Due to lots of issues down to unfortunate situations. The me on the right? Still carries some of those issues. However, she's now happy. She's content in herself. She has a job she loves. A boyfriend who is her world. A family she'd do anything for and a mentality that can over come things she couldn't before. Please please please.. dont beat yourself up over how you were before. Be proud of who you are NOW. Nobody is perfect. No one expects miracles. However, despite everything you still manage to get up in the morning (smile or no smile) and go through your daily life. To me? Thats something to massively be proud off and as someone whose been there? I applaud you💖 #motivation#beproud#thenandnow#achivement#fitness#instadaily#life#truth#dontgiveup#awareness#smileandbeproud#depressionawareness#monday#throwback#lifecanbehard#support#bodyimage#dontjudgeabookbyitscover#justgoshoot#achievegoals#behappy
